Не опоздай я...

[freiburg234.livejournal.com]

Dear Community,

"Не опоздай я вчера на свидание, мы бы не поссорились." (Had I not arrived late to the meeting, we would not have fought.)


In looking at the above sentence/construction, my first thought was that there was a typographical error in the word "опоздай", which, to my mind, should have been written "опоздал".

However, I've been reliably informed that in this context "опоздай" is not an error.

Is "Не опоздай я..." equal to "Если бы я не опознал..."?

Can you please explain to me the use of what appears to be the imperative to refer to a past situation that one evidently wishes had not occurred? Are there other uses of this technique? What's the grammatical logic for its use?

Thank you for your kind input.

Itty Bitty Translation Help....

[n-sane-peace.livejournal.com]

Hey Everyone!
I need some of your fantastic (and it is) help with some translations.
I've started Russian last year and find myself stumbling over some words still. I have one sound clip that I am trying to understand, but could really use your expertise.

Sound Clip:
- What I hear in this is "medicine" and "doctor" but I can't make out what else is said.

Any help would be SUPER SUPER Appreciated!! ♥!!

Thanks for taking the time to read this!
